After 25 years, The Big C Jamboree, will be ending in May 2017.  A night of drinking, dancing, socializing, networking and non-stop music since 1992. For die hard rockabilly devotees and civilian music fans. Over the last decade, this highly organized vibrant jam session, held the first Thursday of every month at Martyrs', has become rockabilly central for many of the musicians & fans of Chicago's American roots scene. Although the monthly jam is devoted to rockabilly, the Big C Jamboree has also offered the span of '40's-'50's Amereicn roots music from Hillbilly Boogie to Western Swing, Jump Blues and 1st generation Rock-n-Roll. The night is run swiftly and simply: a host band performs a short set, followed by a myriad of roots musicians who do 3 songs each. The party like atmosphere includes socializing, drinking & dancing galore while the rotating line-up onstage usually features the raucous sounds of pompadoured rockabilly musicians wailing away on upright basses and hallow-bodied electric guitars; and there's NEVER a cover! It's one of the most dedicated evenings of music in the city.

 Ross Kleiner & The Thrill mix an exciting blend of self-penned Rock 'n' Roll, Rockabilly, Doo-Wop, Swing, Rhythm & Blues and anything in between. A classic, authentic voice matched with experienced and adventurous musicianship is what makes this group as thrilling as the name suggests.

Ross Kleiner & The Thrill is all you need to impress your girl, or get your guy to grease up and get down. A little for the nostalgic, a bit for the modern-retro fan, and the rest for whomever likes good music. These cool cats skip the gimmicks and give you that feeling that only true whiskey soaked Rock 'n' Roll can. Ross Kleiner & The Thrill will get anyone out on the floor movin' and groovin'!
